Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring a consignment of goods including measuring a predetermined parameter or parameters of said consignment using a disposable device (7) attachable to said consignment; transmitting a signal containing data representative of the measured parameter to a central location (14) and maintaining a database (11) relating to said consignment at said central location (14), said database (11) including the data representative of said measured parameters. The database (11) may include temperature, time and location data associated with a consignment. The database (11) may be accessed remotely via a secure access link (15).
